| Re: [linuxtools-dev] Lttng tests breaking nightlies/sonar |
Hi Aleksandar,
The problem seems to be on Eclipse's side. The Jubula team has responded
to the bug saying it affects them too:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=400473
We have no idea how long that might take to fix, so we'll disable the
downloading (and the tests that depend on it) in the meantime.

It's not fetching sources, it's fetching binary traces used to run unit
tests (about ~10 MB of them). In the past, those were stored directly in
git, and there has been (very valid) concerns about storing large binary
files in git.
Having them available during the build allows us to run the CTF-related
unit tests. Those tests are really important to us: the bug that makes
LTTng in LT 1.2 completely unusable would have been caught if those
tests were running (they weren't running back them, we enabled them last
month).
But I totally agree that the build should not *depend* on downloading
those. We're working on a way to make the download not fail the build if
it fails, and if possibly skip the unit tests that depend on them if
they are not found. That way it should still "work" for a completely
offline build. Would you be fine with this solution?
But as mentioned, we'll just disable them for now, until the problem at
Eclipse is fixed.
Thanks,
